Monad Shoal is an underwater cleaning station, where thresher sharks, and the occasional manta, come every morning to get a good cleaning from tiny cleaner fish.
These sharks have a torpedo shaped body and huge eyes, giving them a lovely facial expression. But what makes them unique, and gives them their name, is the long upper part of their tail.
Monad Shoal is the dive spot with the most consistent sightings of Thresher Sharks in the world, but it is not the only interesting dive site in Malapascua, check out top ten here.
